By the time I die, I'm hoping to have a few hundred photos worth keeping to pass on.
I'll erase the rest myself long before that.
If the shoot is for me, I erase 90% of them now shortly after the shoot.
If it's foe a client, I erase everything I did not send them. They have no idea what else there is anyway!!!
People that keep everything are just hoarders and will put undue stress on whomever has to put all that junk in the trash later!

I kind of doubt this will stress anyone.
Correct that wont stress anybody out. Although all the invasion of privacy will......

The drive won't. But the state of the table it's on is another matter!

I am in photography to please myself, not others. When I am dead there will be some hard disks full of photos. My kids can do what they want with them, throw them away or keep them, delete the pics or look at them or print them. I am not going to control that.
I agree with you. Daughters and Daughters in law want some furniture and other heirlooms. None of the 4 kids want the house and property. Our motto," let the kids take care of it. " Meaning if they want it fine, if they do not fine.

My wife was doing a jigsaw puzzle on the table, but one of our cats kept hopping up there and messing it up, so I got piece of plastic to put over the puzzle when she isn't working on it. The "table" you see is that composite surface.

Ahh, yes. Cats love to bat puzzle pieces off the table. I had a Siamese in my youth. He liked to chew on jigsaw puzzle pieces. We never figured out why.

In my experience, cats like to bat everything off any horizontal flat surface!

Well, if it tastes good, they usually just eat it. We can never leave turkey unattended.
The worst habit my cat has had is climbing on Christmas trees and curio shelves. [crash!]
A couple of months ago I had this realization that what I like to take pictures of and post process and not at all what I like when I look at pictures taken by my parents or by me (or wife) from decades ago. I like to take and process landscapes and cars but what I like from decades ago are pictures of my family - including nuclear family, aunts/uncles, cousins, grandparents, etc.
The thing that has me conflicted is I absolutely HATE taking pictures of people - Christmas, Birthdays, etc. included. I am an introvert, I don't like having my picture taken and I don't like taking pictures of others so my dilemma is probably obvious - when others (decades from now?) go to look at my pictures they'll probably think they're boring .....

It's an interesting point you make!
One thing I've noticed is that some photos of places that were likely just "meh" at the time they were taken have much more impact many years later when they reveal a view into the past. I'd like to think some of our photos will do that for others, but will they simply be lost in a sea of data?
This might be inspiration to pick your best shots and add metadata to everything.
You've got me thinking!
